Hi,
I like Finale, and I like Finale 2006. Besides the eternal bug of
Non-EPS, there are three bugs I come by very often.
1.) When I extract parts, there is always an additional empty page
after the last page of the parts. Only if I update I won't print a
lot of empty pages. What use? Why? Why still?
2.) When I implode music, say, to do a piano accompaniment from a
funk horns section, and there are slurs, I get multiple slurs that I
have to get rid of manually.
a) Should not the program be intelligent enough to check if the
rhythms and slurs are the same and to its task?
b) Is there a fast way to erase, say, 2 of 3 slurs in the whole piece
of music, or some plugin like "check slurs" or similar? Or a quick workaround?
3.) Since ever. Why won't the spacing between systems change after
page 1 even if I did not do anything? Why do I always have to do one
of my dozen workarounds to get systems evenly spaced not on one page,
but throughout the piece, normally so I won't need more pages than
necessary? Why will there be a system on page 2 that has a much
bigger space than all of the others?
Since these are things I meet almost every day, I ask you for
opinions, workarounds, and maybe they won't be there in Finale 2007?
Still, miss EPS more than everything
cheers
Kurt
